This is the Polestar 2, and it’s a fully-fledged production car designed to do the hard yards in establishing Polestar as a big player in the EV scene. It’s gunning for the biggest bullseye of them all right now: the Tesla Model 3.
Polestar was once Volvo’s racing skunkworks, but it’s morphed into a standalone electric offshoot, jointly owned by Volvo and its Chinese mothership, Geely. Its cars are built in China, to be sold worldwide. And while its first homebrew effort, a limited-edition headline-grabber, was a plug-in hybrid – the beautiful, £140,000 Polestar 1 – this is where it gets serious.
Prices start at £43,150 for the entry-level 'Standard Range Single Motor' version, which has a 69kWh battery capable of up to 297 miles of range and an electric motor that's good for 228bhp. Next up is the 'Long Range Single Motor', which upgrades the battery to a 78kWh unit that'll do a claimed 341 miles on a full charge and ups power slightly to 228bhp. It costs £46,350.
Then there's the top-spec 'Long Range Dual Motor' edition, which features electric motors on the front and rear axle and up to 301 miles of range. The car develops just over 400bhp split 50/50 front-rear, so it’s fast, despite weighing 2.1 tonnes. The asking price for this is £49,550. And thanks to a recent software upgrade you can spend a further £5,000 on Polestar's Performance Pack, boosting power to 469bhp and chopping the 0-62mph time down to a stupendous 4.4 seconds. Yikes.
It uses its height not just to offer a more commanding view of the road than a conventional saloon, but also to carve out space for the water-cooled battery pack, which lies beneath the cabin.
On the design front, it’s job done: this is a sensational-looking machine in the metal, crisp and fresh and clean-cut, loaded with presence but wonderfully unadorned with fake vents or dummy-aero nonsense. It looks like the car the future promised, but distanced enough from a Volvo S60 not to seem contrived. When you see one of these whoosh past, you’re going to want one.
